Empty (1/23/03)

Empty

 

How can I look at the world,

In the same way now?

Everything's changed,

Yet it's all the same.

Shouldn't the skies be gray?

Shouldn't the colors be muted?

Why is the laughter still so gay?

Don't they know;

My world ened this day?

 

Who's going to answer all my questions,

And teach me all I ought to know?

How can it still be so sunny and bright;

While inside I feel cold as ice?

A starless winter's night.

Who'll be there;

To keep me safe and warm?

Don't they know;

My world ended this day?

 

Once my heart flew so high;

With the birds soared through the sky.

Now it rest heavy,

As the stones at my feet.

I watch as others dance by,

But in my sorrow,

I can only cry.

Can't they see,

The tears have washed:

All my joy to sea?

 

For on this day, dad;

You were forever taken from me.
